If you aren’t familiar with the blogger Mark Manson, perhaps you’ve seen one of his f*cking novels on the shelf at your local bookseller:

That’s where I first came across this gentleman. The books were in the bestseller section and I was slightly bemused/shocked at the titles — as I’m sure most people are at first.

But despite their triggering nature, his titles are a great gateway to what his writing style is all about.

“His book is the foul-mouthed, funny-as-hell, dead-on elephant on the best-seller lists.” — Katharine Pushkar

His niche? Contra-self help advice.

Mark takes the best of the best of the self-help publishing industry and “translates some of those ideas into language that your average, overworked 26-year-old will understand.

And he’s clearly struck a chord with his intended audience.

His best-selling book — The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck — has over 9 million copies sold
